I think im getting worried. Im supposed to leave for my internship by the 1st and I haven’t heard shit from the local office that’s supposed to be working on my visa and my plane ticket. I got my yellow fever vaccination yesterday (and a backdated card, so I can travel on the 1st) so basically, Im ready.

But the phone number I have is not going through (I also have a shitty phone- just up and quit working as soon as we drove outside Kenya, wtf?). I have to go to the office today, at least so that I have an idea. I also have to find a travel agent so I can buy my ticket back in time for the Kampala conference (and before I end up broke, lol). This is frustrating tho- would have been easier if it was left up to me to get my visa and ticket instead of.... well, just waiting. ugh.

Black uhuru is performing on Sunday! Im excited about this- there’s a festival both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday is Baaba Mal (might go for this) and some Kenyan/south african artists, Sunday, which im amped for, is reggae!! Including this german band that my venezolano friend absolutely loves. Trying to go out tonight but im a bit frustrated and its dampening my mood. its about 1pm and i've already had one beer- trying to decide what to do. its been cold the past few days too.
Im kinda ready to be out of Nairobi. I mean its fun and everything, my friends are spoiling me... but i do want to see Juba and Rumbek. and my mom arrives tomorrow which could be both a good and a bad thing. we dont do too well if we spend too much time together. i was pushing for 1 day this time round, not 3 or 4.ugh. maybe this time instead of merely threatening to move out i will actually move out (wait... im not too old for this shit??)
